AT THE THEATERS.
That laughable creation of Charles H.
Boyt, "A Texas Steer,', will be seen at the
Academy of Music to-night. The plays of
Charles B. Boyt are always warmly re
ceived in this city, but none of them is a
greater favorite than "A Texas Steer."
James B. Jfackie's new play, "The Side
Show," which will be the attraction at the
Academy of Mnsio Thursday evening, is
said to be one of the most amusing come
dies known to the modern stage. It deals
with life as it exists at the present day in
the town of Georgetown, Muss., where
the scene is laid, especially on circus day.
"The Side Show" tells a coherent story,
which is carefully adhered to throughout
the play. It serves as an excellent me
dium for the introduction of many pleas
ing specialties. Be has gathered to bis
support a very strong coterie of come
dians, acrobats, singers and dancers,
whose efforts to please prove highly satis
factory. The ensemble of the company
consists ot the following well known ar
tists: George Topack, George Steele,
Waldo Whipple, George Turner, John T.
Hanson, Walter Phillips, B. E. Mosler,
Louise Sanford, Kittie Gilmore, Laura
Ashby, M'lle Addle, Nellie Russell and

admiration of all. The company, as seen
above, is a strong one, and thoroughly
competent to srive ''Kicbelieu" its proper

Was the Subject of Evangelist Moody's Im
pressive Appeal Last Night.
TOBACCO SMOKING DENOUNCED
Farewell Address Will Ba Delivered
at the Elm Park Church To-night.
An Eloquent Address on "The Holy
Spirit" Was Given in the Afternoon.
Will Be Continued This Afternoon.
Plans for the Future.
Mr. Moody resumed his services yes
terday, when he addressed a large
gathering; at Elm Park ehnrch at 3 p.
ra bis snbjest being the "Holy
Spirit." Messrs. Stebbins and Caswal-
Ion Davies again conducted tbe pre
ceding musioal services. Mr. Moody
in his address said :
There are two scenes nrominent in mv
life which I hope I will never forget as
long as I live. The first was when! was
born of tbe Holy Spirit end the second
when God baptised me with tbe Boly
Ghost in 1871 and as I believe annotated
me for bis service. Life since then as well
as the work, has been altogether differ
ent. I was an older man in 1871 than I am
now and feel myself set tin it younger ev
ery day.
You bear of ministers brsaking down
from overwork. It I were to ask the au
dience "What did Christ come to the
world forf ' almost every child could read
ily answer that he came to seek aud save
that which is lost, but if I ask what is tbe
work of the Holv Ghost a large number
of the audience would be bewildered and
confused. Tbe Father, the Son and the
Boly Ghost each have their own work,
and the work ot the SDirit is to convlnoe
people of their sin. People like to be flat
tered and to be told of their good points,
but they cannot appreciate being told of
their weak points, their failures or faults,
and that is tbe reason why people do not
like the meetings when the Spirit ot God
manifests itself. Let us preach the gospel
and tbe Holy Spirit will do the rest.
ANOSLS WOULD AIL.
If an aneel from heaven came down to
preach be would not convince siuners of
their sins and wickedness aud men have
no power to do so, it is tbe work of the
n oly spirit. let us Keep that in mind.
We sometimes see a man rise from the
meetings in an angry mood and slam the
dood behind him. (I prefer that to those
who come up and' thank you for the ser
mon and then forget all about it as soon
as they get Into the street. The first man
dm beeu convicted of bis sin and has seen
his wickedness.
Mr. Moodv then enumerated the
work of the Holy Spirit as follows:
After conversion it sheds the love ot
God abroad In the heart; imparts hope;
gives liberty; testib.es of Jesus Christ;
"tie shall teach yon all things and
guide into all truth In tbe latter end
of bis address Mr. Moody mads a tern-
no onslaught on tobacco smokers, in
tbe following terms-
I am now going to hurt the feelings of
some or you, but 1 am going to say what
1 honestly believe. If these bodies of ours
are going to be kept sweet, no child ot God
ought to be saturated with tobacco. Why
make a smoke stack or yourselves? Give
up the bablt for Christ's sake, and you will
have more power and influence to work in
his cause.
At the conclusion of his address the
evangelist invited all to stay for an
hour s prayer meeting; and asked those
wbo did not care to do so or who were
not able to remain to walk ont quietly
while a nymn was otine sung. The
majority of tbe audience remained in
response to the invitation.
As a result of the invitation, 800 peo
ple adjourned to tbe basement when
Mr. Moodv engaged! In a general con
versation, and fifty came forward and
signed the eards pledging themselves
to tbe Christian faith.
SERVICES AT NIQHT.
Io the evening Mr. Moody addressed
tbe male portion of his audience in
compliance with an invitation whicb
be bad Issued, and arrangements were
made whereby tbe body of tbe Elm
Park church auditorium was reserved
exclusively for the men, ths ladies being
seated in tbe gallery. All the availa
ble seating aeoommodation was occu
pied. Tallie Morgan conducted ths
singing, while Mr. Stebbins accom
panied and contributed some of his ex
cellent solos.
Rev. Warren G. Partridge announced
an offtrtory in aid of tbe expense of
tbe mission, Mr. Moody hoped tbe
audience would give liberally as they
did not want the money, it would be
spent in Seranton. Mr. Bliss sod Mr.
Bcnivera wouia continue to bold the
mission services until Out. 1. Couven
(ton after convention had been held to
decide tbe question as to how they
could reach tbe masses, and be was
sure from bis experience that tbe tent
meeting was tbe best means. If but
100 tenls were arranged, about 600,000
people could be rsaehed by tbeir meet
lugs. He hoped that this was but the
beginning of a great work that was
going right through the country. When
Mr. Schivera arrived, meetings would
wonld be held in Providence. In de
livering bis address Mr. Moody opened
py saying:
I have three texts, one Is a question, the
other is an exhortation and the last is a
command. Some men have a great Cbrlt
and others have a little Christ it is just as
yon make Bim to be. A great many, upon
the advent of Christ, followed 11 im for
what they could get, and they were ths
disappointed ones. Some thought Be Was
a temporal King ana expected cmces, sucb
as postmaster, secretary ot state, etc.. and
when they found that Be was a spiritual
king they left Bim. Others went for
curiosity to see what He bad to say,
Others went after the loaves and fishes
and did not care for the pure doctrine Be
hsd bronght from heaven. Another class
followed Him to engage Bim in theological
discussions lias higher criticism or to make
Bim blasphemy. Another class slmnlv
followed the crowd and couldn't give the
reason why, and here and there a man
sought Bim for what He was.
Through all the 1,800 years human na
ture bad not changed and such a crowd
can be found in Seranton and tbe same
motives which animated the crowd in
these days have prompted many of yon to
be present tonight. If I could only get at
Jour consciences and knew the real reason
would find that some have come to hear
the singing,- they are;the people who don't
like a sermon; soms have come to please
their wives; another man has come because
his mother entreated bim to.

Mrs. HcQua.de Married to W. H. Thompson
on His Deatb Bed,
ROOF OF THEIR DEVOTION
Mr. Thompson Clung Tenaciously to
Life Until Mrs. McQuade Secured
a Divorce at IO O'Clock Monday
Morning Their Marriage Followed
Immediately Afterwards and a Few
Hours Later the Groom Calmly
Expired.
A romantio love story culminated
Monday in a decree of divorce issued
at 10 o'clock in the morning, a mar
riage at noon and the death of the
groom a few hoar's later. Tbe princi
pal aetors in the pathetlo story were
W. H. Thompson, last year s county
chairman of tbe People's party, well
known in this eltv's labor ciroles, and
Mrs. Mary E. McQuade, who became a
widow within three hours.
Tbe marriage osremony was per
formed by Rv. Warren O. Partridge,
of ths Penn Avenne Baptist shuroh, at
the bedside of the dying man in the
presence of a few friends and wit
nesses. It was the third time Mrs.
McQuade had become a wife.
Her maiden name was Miss Mary E,
Fry and soon after the deatb of her first
husband, named Bebrens, she was mm
ried to William J. MeQaade, Juue .10,
1889, by Rev. D. D. Spencer, then of the
Penn Avenue Baptist ohuron, and lived
with him at 83 Dana street, Wilkes.
Barre. McQuade deserted her Nov. 6,
1891, and has not been heard from
since. Soon after her desertion Mrs,
MeQaade came to Seranton and for a
time was a clerk in White s bakery at
825 Penn avenue.
BECOMES STRONGLY ATTACHED.
During last year a strong bond of
friendship existed between her and
Thompson. He was foreman In the
printing establishment ot the People
company, and prior to that had edited
the industrial JNews, of which he was
tbe founder.
Mrs. MeQaade soon became known
as Mrs. Tnomosou. and his friends
suppossd Mrs. McQuade was his wife.
in December, through her next friend.
John Carlson, she instituted dlvoroe
proceedings against McQuade on the
ground of desertion. In June of the
present year ample proof was offered
that tbe defendant could not be found
and evidence was heard by Judge
Archbald, whose decree, granting the
woman complete release from her vows
to McQuade, was obtained only Mon
day morning at 10 o'clock,
Meanwhile, during the period of di
vorce proceedings, a disease bad fast
ened itself npon Thompson and he was
dying slowly but surely at bis home,
628 Forest court Mrs. MeQaade
nursed bim tenderly, submitted to
personal deprivations and made every
possible effort toward his comfort.
TbomDson anally really realized that
his life was in immediate danger, and,
wishing to ln-ike Mrs. McQuade bis
wife, solloited tbe assistance of Albert
B. Clay, wbo is associated with a loan
association and has an office in tbe
Dime Bank building.
Uu baturday Mr. Clay and others
knew that the sisk man's lease on life
wss short, and mane strenuous efforts
to obtain Mrs McQuaJe's divorce de
cree. However, owing to tbe interven
tion of Sunday thevnlued ppr could
lot oe secured nntu Monday morning.
BE CLCNO TO LIFE.
Many men with less will power
would have died under tbe strain, bat
Thompson hung tenaciously to ths last
glimmer of mortality and spent tbe
morning praying for a few hours res
pite from death. With tbe Ink almost
undried on tbe favorable decree and
with scaresly strength to respond to
tbe clergyman's nuptial questions, he
became Mrs. McQaade's legal husband
at noon.
The form of bis will, lenvinz his
wire a nominal sum of insurance and
some real estate, bad been drafted.
Tbe dates were filled in, bis signature
attacnea, ana wiuin two hours Mrs
Thompson was a widow.
